Italy offers a lot in terms of holidays. Mostly it offers uniformly excellent food, jaw dropping architecture and nice weather in the summer, but that's to ignore its other, less well-known strengths.

Chief among these is parking. No Italian holiday is complete without photographs of instances of demented car parking. I saw a car parked between two lamp posts with about an inch at either end... on a central reservation.

There is no place Italians won't try and wedge a car. Always wear underpants when on holiday in Italy, just in case somebody tries to reverse a Fiat down your urethral opening.
